Murphy v. State

Court of Appeals of Alabama
May 19, 1936
168 So. 459 (Ala. Crim. App. 1936)

Opinion

4 Div. 199.

April 14, 1936. Rehearing Denied May 19, 1936.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Russell County; J. S. Williams, Judge.

Spud Murphy was convicted of unlawfully possessing prohibited liquor, and he appeals.

Affirmed.

Frank M. De Graffenried, of Seale, for appellant.

A. A. Carmichael, Atty. Gen., for the State.


The motion is to establish the bill of exceptions under the provisions of Code 1923, § 6435. The facts set up in the motion show that it could not be intended as a proceeding under the provisions of section 6436 of the Code. See Sovereign Camp, W. O. W., v. Ward, 200 Ala. 19, 75 So. 331, where the distinction between the two sections is pointed out. Also see Eason v. State, 22 Ala. App. 424, 116 So. 409, and Fries v. Acme White Lead Color Works, 18 Ala. App. 80, 89 So. 842.

It would seem, and we hold, that when motion is made, as here, to establish a bill of exceptions under the provisions of Code 1923, § 6435, the motion must be accompanied by satisfactory evidence of its truth, before any action will be taken by this court.

Instantly, the motion is overruled and denied "as it is not supported by evidence, as required by the statute and the rule of practice on the subject." Rogers v. State, 4 Ala. App. 677, 58 So. 755; Code, § 6435, supra; Supreme Court Rule of Practice 40, Code 1928, p. 1934; Montgomery E. Ry. Co. v. Perryman (Ala. Sup.) 7 So. 383.

There being no bill of exceptions, and the record proper being in all things regular, the judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
